Anybody working on boiler contols, gas valves,gas regulators that have been underwater even though they may have been dried out may still have contaminates inside them. that could cause future failure. I had a job where the boiler rm. flooded due to a defective sump pump. The insurance co.wanted all the above replaced. as well as some of the parts manufactures.
